Here’s the roundup of the 2020 recruiting class. There are other offers, but these seem to be the primary targets. But don’t take it from me; as I typed this on Saturday, Hurley was out watching Andre Jackson, Noah Collier, and Cliff Omoruyi.

SG- DeMarr Langford, 6’4”, 195, Putnam, CT.

The Latest: https://basketballrecruiting.rivals...ord-is-50-50-on-the-topic-of-reclassification

Mentioning him first because this just popped up today. Langford is considering reclassifying to 2019. UConn, Pitt, and WVU are in on him the hardest. Younger brother to former UConn target Makai Ashton-Langford, who recently entered the transfer pool.

SF- Andre Jackson, 6’6”, 160, Albany, NY.

The Latest::https://dailygazette.com/article/20...academy-into-federation-basketball-tournament

Silky smooth prospect who already took his OV to UConn. Also considering Iowa, Marquette, Stanford, and Syracuse.

G- Hassan Diarra, 6’2” 180, Putnam, CT.

The Latest::https://www.yurview.com/all-ball/hassan-diarra-is-a-physical-guard-for-psa-cardinals/

Brother to Mamadou Diarra, often said in the same breath as Langford. Have not offered yet officially, but is definitely a big target. Providence is the main competition.

F- Noah Collier, 6’6” 200, Westtown, PA.

The Latest::https://connecticut.rivals.com/news/notes-quotes-uconn-holds-on-against-usf

Undersized big who could be developed into a wing. Visited back in March.

SG- Cam Thomas, 6’3” 185, Wilson, VA.

The Latest::https://basketballrecruiting.rivals...ine-cameron-thomas-drawing-plenty-of-interest

Was brought in for a visit along with all of the above back in March. Took in the UCF tilt. NC. State seems to be the primary competition, but being an Oak Hill guy, there will always be suitors.

C- Cliff Omoruyi, 6’10”, 230, Roselle, NJ.

The Latest:: https://www.flohoops.com/articles/6...oruyi-putting-in-the-work-at-roselle-catholic

Athletic, physical big man. Has racked up all of the offers lately. Said he wants to commit on his birthday, Oct. 11.

PF- Richard Springs, 6’9” 210, Granby, MA.

The Latest::https://basketballrecruiting.rivals...hard-springs-recaps-visits-talks-new-interest

UConn has been on this guy for a while. Has been on campus at least one other time since that article from December.

Some new offers to track for 2020.

SF Keon Ambrose-Hylton, 6'8" 185, Willoughby, OH.

The Latest: https://basketballrecruiting.rivals.com/news/keon-ambrose-hylton-emerges-as-a-national-target

Flashed this weekend apparently. 2020 recruit, but is considering reclassifying to 2019. UConn offered him shortly after.

F Jabri Abdur-Rahim, 6'6", 180, Short Hills, NJ.

The Latest: https://www.flohoops.com/articles/6...g-jabri-abdur-rahim-focusing-on-a-few-schools

Another player who took advantage of a productive weekend to pick up a few offers, UConn included. Son of former NBA star Shareef Abdur-Rahim.

C Josh Gray, 7'0", Putnam, CT.

The Latest: Can't find much on this guy, but Zagoria tweeted that he picked up a UConn offer. Also has one from South Carolina.

If this helps, you can view a list of all of the prospects that Rivals has confirmed that Connecticut has offered.

2020 CLASS

To view other classes just change the year at the end of the url. Some sites even have this pinned at the top of the message board. If you ask your publisher he might do that for you guys.

Another one to the list!

F Nate Tshimanga, 6'7," 275, North Central Texas Academy

The Latest:

Not much out there on him, stay tuned.
 
Niels Lane is a NJ kid, so Hurley has to have a big advantage on any recruit in his home state. Hurley has to own NJ in recruiting.

This kid Geronimo holds numerous offers from P5 schools so he isn’t exactly under the radar and nobody seems to be paying attention to his current national ranking.

Wrong.....Take a look at his Rivals page from May when I mentioned him...Well you couldn't because he didn't have one and 24/7 didn't have one either. Of course he was under the radar WHEN I BROUGHT HIM UP in May. I just happened to watch some of his Maxx Preps stuff that not alot of people must pay attention to .... and said why the hell isn't this kid rated ? ....by ANYONE ? ... Now he does have a page Jordan Geronimo, 2020 Small forward
after this summers AAU season and everyone finally woke up.... IF YOU look at his ranking history now on Rivals.... it shows he wasn't even rated until recently, now suddenly the offers are flying in...But read my post way above in this thread (BLADES- May 27, 2019) , I called it.....
Indiana Basketball: Hoosiers offer 2020 fast-rising wing

Also I just checked 24/7.... he just went from unranked and unmentioned to a 4 star....TODAY !..... , 24/7 Rank History
gee.... you don't think that's a little under the radar with these recruiting sites ?

I did not say he was not under the radar in May, I said he is not under the radar now. He holds offers from at least 7 P5 schools before UConn offered him. Those schools obviously did not care about his ranking when they offered him.
 
I was responding to the post about his ranking about to take a big jump........it doesn’t matter because he had numerous offers when he was unranked or still ranked 135. In other words he hasn’t been as under the radar as his ranking might have suggested.

Yeah were talking about different things.... this is a 3+ month old thread .... I added him as my sleeper pick to this thread way before all the P-5/7 offers/attention ..." I told you so Rivals " ....even though Uconn wasn't supposed to be involved.

Here's another name that can be taken off the list... Even though his name has been floating around for awhile...Uconn seems to have others G/F they've been more interested in:

And according to Borges, looks like Cardwell isn't coming.

Ditto------2020 Recruits

I had this covered a few days ago....he listed his final 4 on instagram.... in the link above. Looks like both Uconn and Cardwell moved on after his Tenn visit.....
" Dylan Cardwell, a 6-10 center from Georgia...... now seems focused on schools closer to his home."

Borges also covered why all these names don't mean much:
" And that’s the nature of recruiting. Players change their minds frequently, and there are only so many available scholarship slots and positions on a team. UConn was strongly recruiting Niels Lane, a 6-5 guard and Omoruyi’s teammate at Roselle Catholic, until it became apparent Jackson was going to commit to the Huskies and Lane cancelled a scheduled visit and later committed to Florida. Similarly, once Jackson committed to UConn, the staff’s focus shifted away from big guards they had been recruiting like Cam Thomas and Kadary Richmond. "
